Beer Pitchers

Beer pitchers are often seen at sports bars, neighborhood pubs and other bars where beer is served on tap. Beer pitchers provide customers a way to order a larger quantity of beer at one time, perfect for a group or a two-some who want a good deal on beer, as well as a way to refill their glasses more quickly. Beer pitchers are typically between 30 and 60 ounces, and are made to hold several glass’s worth of beers. The pitchers are typically plastic, and often have ribbed sides rather than straight and smooth sides. The plastic material makes them durable against any abuse they may receive behind the bar during washing. Some beer pitchers are made of glass, offering an upscale look that might be perfect for a swanky tavern or a fancy event. Typically bars will discount the price of beer if ordered by the pitcher, since they are selling more beer at a time. Pitchers are often hot items on happy hour menus as well. You may need to give novice bartenders a bit of practice filling bar pitchers so that it does not end up with too much of a head on top.
